The printer has been printing continuously over a long period.

If the printer has been printing continuously for a long time, the Print Head may overheat. To protect the Print Head, the printer may stop printing at a line break for a period of time and then resume printing.

In this case, interrupt your print session at a convenient time and turn the printer off for at least 15 minutes.

Additionally, if the printer has been printing graphics or photos with intense colors continuously over a period of time, the printer may stop printing to protect the Print Head. In this case, printing will not resume automatically. Turn the printer off for at least 15 minutes.

Caution

The Print Head and the surrounding area can become extremely hot inside the printer. Never touch the Print Head or nearby components.

Out of paper.

Make sure that paper is loaded in the selected paper source.

Reload paper if no paper is found in the selected paper source (Auto Sheet Feeder or the Cassette).

If the same paper is loaded in the other paper source, you can switch the paper source with the Paper Feed Switch or the printer driver to continue printing.

If both paper sources have run out of paper, confirm the selected paper source and load paper there.

Printing documents with plenty of photographs or illustrations.

When the POWER lamp is flashing green, the printer or the computer is processing data. Printing large data such as photos or graphics takes time for the printer and the computer to process, during which the printer may appear to have stopped operating.

In addition, when printing data that uses a large amount of ink continuously on plain paper, the printer may pause temporarily. In either case, wait until the process is complete.

Note

If you are printing a document with a large printing area or printing multiple copies of a document, printing may pause to allow the ink to dry.

Some printers automatically print on both sides of a page (automatic
duplex printing); other printers allow you to manually reinsert pages

printer manufacturer, or check the printer's properties by clicking Properties in the Print dialog box.

Check your printer manual or consult your printer manufacturer.

Click the tabs in the Print
dialog box and review the options. If options such as print on both
sides of the paper, duplex printing, or two-sided printing appear on
any of the tabs, the printer probably supports automatic duplex
printing.

printing to a combination copy machine and printer, and the copy
machine supports two-sided copying, it probably supports automatic
duplex printing.

If you have more than one printer installed,
it's possible that one printer supports duplex printing and another
printer does not.
